FX separator

Some production details do not fit neatly into a vocal or instrument part: a transition texture, designed accent or unusual sound may be the element you want to hear. FX mode offers a broad effects target and returns FX and Other. MVSEP lists this separately from its Braam and Risers specialists and from the cinematic modes that produce Speech, Music and Sound effects. Here, the output contract is a two-way split. Start with a concrete sound and a purpose. You might want to inspect a transition, reduce a distracting accent or hear how a texture occupies the space between musical phrases. Listen to that event in the original first, then compare where it appears in the two outputs. A broad label is not a guarantee that every sound you personally consider an effect will be captured. Sound design often overlaps musical instruments: a synth sweep can be both a played part and an effect, while a reverberant hit may resemble percussion. Check the surrounding rhythm, sustained harmony and tail after reducing the target. If the intended effect is clearly a braam or riser, compare that specialist on the original mix. FX does not provide one file per effect or undo each processing plugin used in the recording.
